Waterstreet Dodges the Heart

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Action picked up on the flop of 345 with roughly 120,000 in the pot, in a hand between Peter Waterstreet and his opponent, who had him covered.

Waterstreet had 137,000 behind, and all the money quickly went into the middle.

Peter Waterstreet: QJ All in
Opponent: A5

Although Waterstreet flopped a flush, he needed to fade a heart on the turn and river to stay alive.

He did exactly that, when the turn landed the 10, and the river brought the 3. He let out a sigh of relief, as he dragged in the pot.

Carandang Holds with Jacks

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Francis Carandang got it all-in preflop in middle position for 159,000, against the player from under the gun, who had him covered.

Francis Carandang: JJ All in
Under the gun: 55

As the dealer brought out the J75 flop, the five was in the window, giving Carandang a scare. The 9 turn and 7 river improved his hand to a full house, jacks full of sevens, which earned him the double up.

Martin Has His Opponent Drawing Dead

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Kevin Martin
Kevin Martin

A player in early position opened to 24,000 and Kevin Martin three-bet to 72,000 from the seat to his left. After it folded back around to the early position player he made the call.

The action got checked to Martin on the 84K flop and he put out a continuation-bet of 40,000. His opponent made the call and they headed to the turn.

The early position player checked for a second time when the dealer put out the 4. Martin fired a second barrel of 60,000 this time. After he asked to see Martin's stack, the early position player moved all in for Martin's remaining 111,000. Martin made the call and the cards were revealed.

Kevin Martin; AK All in
Early Position: A9

Martin had his opponent drawing dead, and when the inconsequential 3 hit the river, Martin had doubled up to almost 600,000.
